In order to make a drawing look real you have to pay extra attention to things like: perportion, lighting, shadow, scale, setting, colour, and texture.
Start by checking your source. If you are working from life or a photo or you imagination you have to study your subject carefully. Decide which angle you want to draw from. Observe how the light and consequentially the shadows fall. Look closely at the texture of the various surfaces.
Now, set up your paper or other "ground". A quick light sketch of your subject will place it on the ground. Be sure to center the sketch on your ground and leave enough room around it to set it in its environment. In reality things do not just float in nothingness, for your drawing to appear realistic you have to include some of the surrounding environment.
Once your subject has been sketched, begin to firm up the drawing, adjust the outline, lightly block in the shadows and highlights. Continue to adjust and add detail until you have an accurate rendition of your subject.
Now start adding textures and finer details. If you are rendering your subject in colour, this is the time to start adding light colours. Keep working, add more texture and detail, be sure your shadows fall correctly, enhance the edges of your subject using found and lost edges.
Now, sit back and compare your drawing to the subject, be objective, notice what doesn't look quite right and work on those parts. This process can take quite a bit of time, but at some point you will have to stop. Even if the drawing is not perfect, leave it. Go on and do another drawing, and another... It is the drawing that teaches you. Practice, practice, practice... time and experience will eventually get you where you want to be.
